Hey everyone,
I recently rooted my moto droid and was wondering now that I have done this can I drop 1.5 or any other OS on there that I choose? Also, if that is possible can someone post a link or tell me how to go about doing this. That being said, I was also wondering if there is a way to easily switch between android versions for development.
Thanks for your time and help,
Tommy
Here is a link to droidforums. It has links to most rooted Tom's for Droid.

You can also try other sites like alldroid.org, phandroid. The developers site which is "xda" and "sdx". There are many others so just search around they all have forums for different devices for this information. One of the most helpful I've found for noobs was unlocked.com. give it a try.

Look-up RomManager in the marketplace if you will be moving between versions alot, it handles these changes very well.
As to going to previous versions I can not say for sure. In theory yes but you will ether have to find a pre-made Droid rom or build it yourself.
Thanks!
Thank you both for the replies and information. I will continue my research and see what I can dig up. Hopefully I can find a 1.5 rom as building it myself is a little out of my ability right now.
Yes rom manager would be a good idea forgot to mention it. It works great for switching roms I just have a little problem with mount sdcard in clockworkmod recovery so mine will reboot after entering recovery and rom manager doesn't help some times but it seems to work great for most devices. My problem is I have to reformat sdcard because I came from Eris and I don't want to till I can get a computer to backup info on it.

I am new to the Dell streak7 (infact it is currently in the post on its way to me) and yes I'm a Noob to the forum too, I have had several JB'd iPhones but fancied a change from the Apple (and a bigger screen too ) I was swayed by reading up on the spec of the Streak 7 (and the price when compared to the Xoom) and then seeing all of the underground development by DJ_Steve and others on this Forum, well, it just signed and sealed it for me really...
....Anyway, the device will be a brand spanking new Wifi only model and from what I can gather there is no backup currently available for this device, I have read in the Dev forum that someone actually managed to re-install their original .img from the wifi device, I was wondering how I go about firstly copying these files and then restoring them (should the need arise) IE: best software to use and method to apply? Or would there be a better way to backup/restore?
Thanks in advance,
ATB

Edit: Sorry this should of been marked as a question, sorry, my bad!
Sorted....I Found Stock WiFi NVFlash download link inside another thread!
Here is the thread link incase anyone else ever needs it:

First time opening a thread, if theres any mistake that I make please let me know...
I'm thinking of archieving the files for rooting, openrecovery and everything so in the future if my milestone got any problem, I can solve it if the source is not in the internet anymore. The problem is I already search the UK RETAIL (RTUK) in this forum but end up I only found dead links.
As example, in this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932196
Maybe because of the SOPA before that deletes the file...
So right now I'm totally hope that someone can help me by uploading the firmware to the internet. I really need it since I'm still using Motorola Milestone and the phone is splendid. Thanks in advanced...
Already archived for you. There was a point when the links on this site failed to work but it was all fixed a while ago.

Superb thanks, but can I ask u for another favor? I'm not a total techie person so which link should I download. Im from Malaysia and before this I did the process with my Milestone using the uk retail (rtuk) firmware so in the link given which one should I click to download? Hope you could help
If you can provide a link to this I897UCJE4 version for captivate, please do!, i've want'ed to tinker with this version for a while but can-not find the file any where on the internet with an active download link. Thank you for reading this! I hope some one can help me out. :highfive:
Meh wrong section to post this, Q&A is your section.

I'm sorry that I typ'ed in the wrong forum, It seem'ed correct at the time. I just really! wish I had the JE4 version, I have the JE5 version. I might ask in the Q & A section later on today, I just gotta find it two. Thank you!
I will look later this evening after work...
And don't worry about reposting...i will request that a mod move this to q & a.

Thanks! I appriciate the help. Other's might like the JE4 version as well for tinkering, so this could be a win win situation, if the file can be found.
If you can find someone who has an account with them here is a site that has ithttp://files-for-all.com/download/G...are/Original files/Samsung/I897/I897UCJE4.zip

I've tried that site guy's, they really are there, the files, but I have no income to create an account to get the files. Thank's for looking!. I'm wondering if any one has it on a phone and could get an adb backup created for us here to try. This site http://www.downloads.bombaymobiles.in/index.php?dir=Samsung%20Flash%20files/I897/ has alot of files for diffirent phones, i'm directing you to the i897 files and JE5 is in there if you want an idea what its like, But again looking for JE4, i've read that it's less buggy and I just really want to use it and mess around with it.

Wait, je4 is very old eclair, right?
Yep...very.
I believe most (if not all) early Caps came with the jf6...mine did.

Eh.. It's ok if it can't be found. I get exited when I check here though hoping some one found it. :silly:
Here are two stock kernel's I managed to get, if you can find i897ucje4 in .tar format I will be tickled pink, thanks.
Title says it all. Looking for the radio/modem(whichever you want to call it, just one file) for the GT-N7000.
I feel it was much easier to find for my SGH-I717.
So folks, if you have preferably the ODIN flashable please hook me up.
Any or all versions would be fine as I plan to host them on my cloud and put a post in the general forum to help people don the road find them easier.
Thanks folk! :good:
Ever did a forum search here?
